Around the world, climate change could lead to a 5% decline in crop yields by 2030 and 30% by 2080. Disease spread during extreme weather events also threaten to exacerbate global poverty, the report found. Poor countries face the most risk as global warming worsens. For one, regions in Saharan Africa and South Asia will be worst hit...

Climate Home: Whether its flooding in Mumbai slums or drought decimating goat herds in the Sahel, poor people are hardest hit by the changing climate. Such impacts could push another 100 million into extreme poverty by 2030. So warns the World Bank in its latest report, calling for targeted support to help marginalised communities cope.
